The international press, outraged by Tebas' words, calls for his resignation
“It is an insult to the victims: Tebas must resign. He has crossed the line irreparably,” says the German football-specialized magazine ‘Kicker.’
The statements made by Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga and vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, in which he compared the methods of Real Madrid's management to those used by Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister of the Nazi regime, have had widespread repercussions in the international press.
One of the most forceful reactions has come from Germany, where the football-specialized sports magazine Kicker has taken a stance on the matter: “It is an insult to the victims: Tebas must resign. He has crossed the line irreparably. Given the history of the situation, there is only one possible consequence,” comments Thomas Böker.
Similarly, other international media outlets have echoed the statements of the LaLiga president.
